I just wanted to know, Who is Vicki, and where do i get her?

Vickie is a poser 4 model utilising an advanced set of joints and morphs. You can find her and lots of other toys at http://www.daz3d.com/ May I suggest though that before you go over there, that you consider your motives. If you are new to Poser then it may be best to hold off on purchasing Vickie until you are more familiar with the program as she can be very difficult to work with. Also, there is an additional Vickie2 which offers even more morph settings and a more advanced joint and body set up, plus clothing compatibility with default Poser clothes.

then what would you suggest that i use as a base female model?

The base Poser 4 female. When you load Poser you will have a character list on the right hand side of your screen. In there is the basic Poser 4 Nude Female, Casual Female, Busines Female and another section containing a dozen different preset female characters. There is a clothes library, a poses library and some textures - although not good ones. Also check through the freestuff here for other clothing files and textures and characters. Then if you're feeling adventurous pop over to MorphWorld and download Travellers excellent free models Eve/Azura. That should keep you busy for a while.

you have been most helpfull. One last small question. what's the URL for morphworld. if i type www.morphworld.com it says simply ACCESS DENIDE
